In the first days after giving birth, the mother's body is still very weak, so it is necessary to have a suitable care regimen to recover quickly.
1. Monitor the recovery
Leprosy : It will last from 10 to 14 days, the blood will be pale in color and gradually less, there is no bad smell. Depending on the location of each person, the time it takes to produce the product will last and end differently. The discharge after cesarean section may last longer than normal delivery, but not more than 4 weeks.
Uterine contractions (womb): The uterus of a woman is very large during pregnancy, it needs to shrink. Usually after 2 weeks will shrink significantly and 6 weeks shrink like before pregnancy. When breastfeeding, the uterus will contract faster and cause pain. If the pain is too much, you can take pain relievers on the advice of your doctor so as not to affect breast milk and baby.
Milk engorgement and breast-feeding: Women may feel very uncomfortable when they have an erection. If they don't pump, it is suspected that the milk is blocked, but it is just an erection and will get better after 2-3 days. You can use infrared light, gently massage and actively breastfeed, if the nipple is not convenient for breastfeeding, use a breast pump every 3 hours.
Incision or perineal stitches: The stitches will heal after 5 days to 1 week. If you have a cesarean section, you need to bathe every day, dry and disinfect it with Betadine in a yellow bottle until the end of 10 days. If giving birth vaginally, the stitches should be cleaned with feminine hygiene solution, blotted dry at least 4 times a day, paying attention to keep dry.
NOTE: do not take the belly gene before 1 month after giving birth because it may cause slow contraction of the uterus and easy bleeding.

2. Diet
Food is rich, food safe, eat cooked and drink boiling. Drink enough 3 liters of water/day (including soup) to avoid constipation and lack of milk, take supplements. Do not abstain too much to ensure nutrition for the mother and the quality of milk for the baby. Limit the use of hot and spicy spices, do not use alcohol or alcoholic beverages, coffee and tobacco while breastfeeding.
